Better Than Words (Book 2)

Chapter 1

I woke up what seemed to be two hours later. I turned my head over to see Brit in her little plastic crib but she wasn't there. Then there was Zayn cradling her over by the window showing her the outside world.

I sat up, stretched and yawned. Zayn turned around and smiled, "There is your mommy," he told Brit.

I smiled. "Hey there." I laughed as Zayn brought Brit over to my arms. I gave her a kiss and let her grip my finger it's really cute on how she and Zayn already grew a bond, and I hope this bond will last her whole life.

I noticed Zayn didn't change her, she's still in the blanket but one good thing is that the blanket is loosened up. He probably wanted me to change her since I had to go through that that pain. I took her out of the blanket and place her on the bed it was good timing to because she went #1. Zayn handed me the diaper bag that my friend Stephanie bought and took out baby wipes and a new diaper. Tossing the dirty diaper in the disposable bin I reached in the diaper bag and pulled out a pink onesie with little pink elephants on it.

Once I got her change I put her little mittens on that keeps her from scratching herself I picked her up and craddled her in my arms.

~~~~~~

It was now 5:36PM and I just put Brit down for another nap hopefully she sleeps for about an hour she needs it.

"Want some food?" I asked Zayn who was flipping through the channels on the small TV that was hooked up on the wall.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'd love too, just give me anything that sounds good that you know I like," he chuckled.

"Alright," I said. I grabbed the the phone and dialled the room service people and ordered our food. It took probably at least 10 minutes for the food to arrive, the delicious smell of pancakes, yes I did I get myself pancakes in the evening filled the room and Zayn's spaghetti that I decided to give him.

I grabbed my plate and started cutting the pancakes and drizzled the maple syrup over them. Over by the TV I heard slurping and obviously it's Zayn slurping his spaghetti. He's always doing that every time we have spaghetti for dinner at the house, let's just say it gets annoying at points but yet it's cute.

Brit woke crying. I dropped my fork and swallowed the pancake, I stretched my body over to Brit's plastic crib/tub and picked her up.

"Shhhh, it's ok there, there," I cooed to Brit putting her heard on my shoulder and rubbing her back.

After putting her down for her nap again I looked at the time 7pm. Wow today flew by! Jackson came back from his hotel with a smile on his face that seemed to stick there for three straight minutes.

"Why are you so smiley?" I laughed raising an eyebrow.

Jackson bounced and clapped his hands like he's retarded...or something..I don't know. "I got good news!"

"Well don't let me hangin' tell me!" I begged.

He walked over and grabbed my hand. "I was let go out of the air force and I found a house here! In California!" Jackson announced.

"Really?" I gasped.

He nodded and I squealed and hugged him.

There was a long moment of silence afterwards. The silence broke when the nurse walked in telling us something pointless and not something important.

We all went to bed around 9. I was woke up by Brit crying around 3am. I groaned and stumbled out of bed and stumbled over a bag, gosh I'm so clumsy! Anyways I got up and went over to Brit and picked her up. Figuring that she must've been hungry I went and fed her and changed her diaper. I carried her over to the window and sat on the window seat. Our hospital room by the way was pretty neat. It had a little window seat, a neat bathroom and a comfortable bed that I ever been in!

The hospital lights outside was still on with just a few nurses and doctors and janitors inside the building so it was lighter outside. I looked down and saw something pretty strange yet creepy...some person in black clothing was staring at my hospital room window. It looked like a guy but I don't know it was creepy. I walked over Zayn who was asleep on the chair and nudged him.

"Zayn wake up someone's down below the window looking at our window in dark clothing," I freaked.

"Huh? What? Where?" He asked in a croaky voice.

"Down there!" I pointed.

Brit was asleep in my arms so I gently put her back in her crib/tub. I walked behind Zayn's back and placed my hands on his side's I looked down. The mysterious man was still there just looking up at us.

Zayn banged on the window with his was saying, "Get away!" Even thought the man won't probably hear cause we're on the second floor. The man cocked his head and just stared.

"I'm calling a nurse or a doctor," I directed to the bed. I jogged over and pressed the button that tells the nurse or doctor to come up.

"Who would even be out there at 3 in the morning? And what do we have against them?" Zayn asked.

"Honestly, I don't know," I frowned.

"Uhhh...Emma?" Zayn said slowly.

"Hmm?" I asked.

Zayn looked at me with a scared look and looked back at the window. "H-he has a gun in his hand."

At the right moment a doctor came in. "What is it Emma?" The doctor asked.

"Um..." I coughed, "There's a mysterious man with a gun and dark clothing looking up at our window and not moving just cocking his head at us,"

The doctor put his hand on my shoulder and walked past me and Zayn and looked out the window, the guy was still there! The doctor rushed past me and to the phone and dialed for everyone to go on lock down.
Next cops showed up 10 minutes later.

I was jolted awake and looked at the time. 4:15am. Ugh. I then laid back and fell back asleep

~~~~~~~~~

Later in the morning at 11am I woke up.

And hour later I called for breakfast and just ordered us eggs and bacon. Then there was a knock on the door and a nurse came in. "You have a visitor Ms. Johnson," The nurse announced.

"Ok you can let them in," I said.

Appeared into the doorway is someone who I haven't seen in a while.

"Mom?" I gasped softly.
